Of course it does. It has an extremely secure duopoly with Google and it's even stronger when you look at US market in isolation. You don't have to own 100% of a market to be broken up or regulated for anticompetitive practices.


I just want to verify that you also consider Sony, Nintendo, and MS to be monopolies as well?


Nintendo was born in 1889 and starting from 1960 it sells game consoles

In those 60 years have sold 750 million consoles (mostly Gameboys)

Apple sold 2.2 billion devices in 13 years (only counting mobile devices) and have become the company with the largest capitalization in human history

I think their power is not comparable, they don't even play in the same league
